What exactly is this guy trying to do?
Meng Xia glanced at the zombies wandering outside the inn and asked curiously, "Why didn't you burn those zombies to ashes?"
"That would be such a waste. Although zombies are a renewable resource, we must prevent this regeneration from happening. So, every zombie that's gone now means one less crystal core. What a pity!"
These zombies seem to be under command, but I've already trapped them with a special formation; they can't escape. We can't just sit around at the inn and do nothing; we need to leave some loot for the guests to farm and level up their abilities.
An Ge felt a pang of heartache whenever she thought about how she had casually burned zombies to ashes.
Everyone... how should I put it, this argument actually makes a lot of sense.
Chengtian and his group were preparing to form a zombie-hunting team. Although they weren't particularly strong, their proximity to the inn ensured their safety.
The group was still discussing where to start when the shop manager unexpectedly delivered a zombie to them. They never imagined that seeing a zombie would evoke such a sense of familiarity.
Although these zombies were of a high level, the safe base was right behind them. And the shopkeeper had the ability to remove the zombies' corrosive power.
Hehe, they looked at the zombies and thought they weren't ugly monsters, but rather shining crystal cores.
Wen Zihao was stunned for a long time, "Manager...good idea."
"Tell me, what happened?"
Wen Zihao sighed, "I was the captain of the Hope Base's Light Hunting Squad. I was betrayed by my teammates while hunting zombies."
Cheng Tian and the others looked at Wen Zihao in surprise, "Are you Captain Wen?"
Wen Zihao gave a bitter laugh, "There's no Captain Wen here. I'm just a victim being hunted down."
When An Ge saw Wen Zihao, she immediately thought of Feng Jinghan. The first time she met Feng Jinghan, he was also being chased.
The way the chosen one makes his entrance is really nothing new.
"Are the Light Squad really that powerful?"
Cheng Tian nodded. "They used to be one of the top hunting teams in Hope Base. But I heard a month ago that their captain was killed by zombies while he was out, and now the vice captain is temporarily in charge."
"Hmph, that was a brother I once thought I could entrust my life to. He was the one who pushed me into a horde of zombies when I wasn't paying attention and even sent people to hunt me down. Unfortunately, I was discovered this time, and the other party lured the zombies, and I almost lost my life."
Meng Xia sighed deeply upon hearing this. Having also been pushed into a horde of zombies, she completely understood Wen Zihao's feelings.
An Ge felt increasingly uneasy as she listened. "Wait a minute, as the captain, you must be very strong. Even if you were betrayed, you can't just not be able to get back to the base, right? And aren't you afraid of messing things up by having the enemy bring so many zombies to kill you?"
Wen Zihao paused for a moment, "This has to do with my abilities. My special ability is quite unique. It can activate the effect of other abilities, which is currently about twice as effective as other ability users of the same level."
Meng Xia exclaimed, "Wow! That's amazing! Double! That'll boost your ability by at least one level!"
"Actually, it's not that powerful. If the difference between my ability level and yours is too large, the improvement effect will be limited," Wen Zihao said embarrassedly.
An Ge nodded, "This ability does sound pretty powerful; at least fighting opponents of higher levels shouldn't be too difficult."
Wen Zihao was almost in tears. "Yes, it can make others very powerful."
An Ge suddenly realized, "So your ability is to enhance other people's abilities?"
Wen Zihao nodded with a long face.
"Powerful support!" This was the first time An Ge had ever seen such a pure support ability, and she looked at him with surprise.
"Of course, it's a pity I don't have much fighting power myself, so I can only rely on others. I thought my teammates were all trustworthy, but I never expected..." Wen Zihao was heartbroken, with tears in his eyes.
An Ge was speechless. How come this chosen one of destiny has no domineering aura at all?
Meng Xia understood and looked at Wen Zihao with sympathy, "So you're just a mascot? No, that's not right. Your ability is actually very powerful, but it also has a lot of flaws."
The crowd was confused; they didn't know much about the Light Squad, but they still had a good impression of their captain, who wasn't very prominent.
"Captain Wen, since you left, the Bright Squad has become increasingly domineering. I heard that several members have left the team." Facing everyone's gaze, Xiao Ma shrank back.
"I like to ask around for information when I have nothing to do, but I can't guarantee it's true."
An Ge didn't expect Xiao Ma to have this ability. "You're still on probation. Tell me everything you know, and consider it as making amends for your crimes."
Xiao Ma swallowed hard. "I heard that after Captain Wen disappeared, many people in the team suspected that it was Deputy Captain Lou, Lou Han, who was behind it. There was quite a bit of internal strife about it."
Several high-ranking members eventually left the team, whether they were kicked out or left voluntarily. In any case, this incident severely weakened the Bright Squad, and they haven't been on missions for a long time. It's said that Team Leader Lou has gathered his team to clear out zombies, aiming to eliminate one in Y City to secure the team's ranking.
Wen Zihao grew angrier as he listened. "This Lou Han is using our brothers' lives to achieve his own success! He's just a fifth-level ability user, yet he dares to go to the Zombie King in Y City?"
At the same time, he felt somewhat relieved, knowing that those who left the team must have had doubts and wanted to seek justice for themselves.
"Who is this Lou Han?"
Wen Zihao said, "He is my childhood friend. He is a dual-elemental ability user with both lightning and fire elements. To be honest, his talent is also top-notch."
"Ah! Who managed the team before?"
"Lou Han mostly manages combat affairs, while I'm in charge of logistics and team development. However, I also delegated these matters to Lou Han, but I never expected him to sideline me."
Wen Zihao has no desire for power, and if Lou Han wants the position of captain, he is not unwilling to give it to him.
Xiao Ma agreed with this, saying, "Captain Wen is right. Most of us outsiders only know Lou Han and know nothing about Captain Wen. But now we know that Captain Wen has been a great help to the team."
What's most surprising about the Bright Squad is that despite their relatively low-level leadership not being particularly strong, they manage to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks. Now it seems that this is all thanks to Captain Wen.
Everyone nodded; they had been curious about this before as well.
An Ge asked curiously, "Your abilities are so amazing, how come no one else knows?"
Lou Han said I was the team's trump card, that I had to play dumb to outmaneuver others, and that it was best not to let anyone know. Apart from a few teammates who often fought alongside me, everyone else thought I was just a spatial ability user.
After listening, An Ge looked at Wen Zihao as if he were a sucker.
